A couple weeks ago, I discovered this great idea on the Sew, Mama, Sew! blog. Today, all over the Blogosphere, people are giving away something to their readers. I love giving things to people, so I immediately decided to participate. I've thought a lot about what to offer . . . wool roving, but not everyone spins; yarn, but not everyone knits or crochets; food provides shipping challenges. But everyone uses soap, right? So, I'm giving away three bars of my goat milk soap, your choice of fragrance (or not). Retail value, including shipping is about $20, and yes, I am willing to ship internationally. You can learn more about my soap here.
So, if you'd like to be considered, post a comment here between today and midnight central time May 31, and on June 1, I'll pick the winner. How will I pick the winner? Just tell me why you'd like to try my goat milk soap, and I'll pick the most interesting comment. In the case of a tie, the winner will be randomly chosen by one of my goats.

Oh, perfect - I have been wanting to try goats milk soap!!! Thanks for giving your handmades away! :-)
First, your blog is awesome! What an incredibly interesting life you have! I would love to try your soap. My dearest friend in the mountains just got her first goats, and aimes to make cheese and soap, too.

I'm not a fan of cheese or milk but goat's milk soap sounds good to me! I'm in the USA.
Oh I can't even think
how goats can be so cute but stink
I have tons of hope
that I'll win your lovely soap!
That was a horrid song/poem - I'm such a dork.

I would love to win! I've been drinking goat's milk for a couple of years now as I find cow's milk irritates my eczma. i've never tried goat's milk soap before though - I'm pregnant at the moment, so my skin is extra sensitive and would love to see if it helps calm it down. Oh, one more reason is that everyone at work already thinsk I'm goat mad, so why not just go the whole hog and prove them right!
My poor botfriend's skin is not good at the moment, I thought maybe home made goats milk would help? And if not, I will use it all myself!
ohhhhhhhhlala...new soaps...does it get any better than that! enter me please :)
My daughter and I have Keratosis pilaris, it's little raise bumps on the skin of our arms. It is also sometimes called chicken skin. I have been wondering for some time if a more natural soap would help us out. I hope that was interesting enough to win the soap and see if it will work! Thanks for the give away.
Very nice! My daughter has sensitive skin and I'd love to try your soap w/o fragrance!
mmmm handmade soaps! I'd love to try your soaps, as I believe in supporting cottage businesses in America, and also am trying to instill in my children a love of simple things...healthy, down-to-earth goddness...like your soaps! What a wonderful offering!
Thanks for offering a giveaway!

I would love your soap! My in-laws have goats (just a small hobby farm) and I've dreamed of milking them, but I think you have to have a special kind of goat? I'm not sure. Also, I can totally relate to your previous post about not wanting to sell that cute little sheep. They had a boy goat whose momma died in childbirth so they named him Samson and raised him on a bottle. They just couldn't sell him like the other boy goats... he's like one of the dogs now!
I want to try your soaps because getting awesome new goats milk soap will motivate me to clean my shower so that I have a happy, clean home for the new soap!
Wow, I've never tried goat milk soap before, but that sounds wonderful.
soap! we love soap in our home! thanks so much for participating in the giveaway day!
I have HUGE issues when it comes to soap since most of it makes me break out. Interestingly enough my friend who is a doctor said I could possibly prevent my sexy red rash from using Goats Milk soap. Think I can find a place that sells it so I can try? Of course not! I guess she uses it on her son, but gets it from overseas. Yikes! Of course ordering the soap would be easier than ordering a goat and taking THAT into the shower with me. Can you imagine how much room a wet goat would take up?
Wow, I never had the opportunity to try goats milk soap. So I'd love to be the winner of this phantastic give away.

I just had a friend recommend goat milk soap to me for our family's eczema problems. I would love to try some! We live in Colorado, and our air is extremely dry, and we all our constantly dealing with itchy, scaly skin. My friend says that goat milk soap has really helped her dry skin, and we will try anything to help us feel better :)
I really want to win this soap because I'm desperate for some relief! And also desperate to not feel like a mutant anymore, lol. For some reason, my skin has gotten sooo sensitive in the last six months and everything makes me itch. I look like I have fleas or something, I am always scratching or squirming when I'm trying NOT to scratch...lol! My sister was just telling me that goat soap might be the ticket to getting clean and not itching to death, so I'd love to try it.
Also, I really really miss my goats. We had 26 of them. We also had an emu, a donkey, lots of horses and chickens and pigs and cows...and then we had to give it all up and move to the city. So this would be a sweet reminder of all my favorite things...not itching, awesome animals and bloggers!
Fantastic Giveaway! I love trying new things and who doesn't love a new groovy soap! Thanks so much! =)
I would love to try your goat milk soap. We have been living in the desert(Arizona) for the past 9 years, and gentle creamy soap sounds like a dream!
Great giveaway...I would have to say I would love to try your soap as I have heard it is soft on your skin...and everyone knows my skin can use major moisture this time of the year.

I would love to try your soap. I would also love to live out on a homestead. Probably not with quite as much land as you have. cool blog!
Oh wow - this is amazing. My favourite job in university was at a French soap store, where I learned to really love nice soap, and I've had a fetish for soap ever since! My friends think it is funny, but they comment on my soap all the time, so it is clear that I'm right! I'm sure you understand... I'm also a really big fan of goat's milk soap, especially during the winter, when my skin gets especially dry. Your scents sound fantastic, too - I love herbs in soap. The sage scent must be so relaxing. Of course, I could say something good about each one! Thanks for the great giveaway.
Oh I would love to try goats soap b/c I never tried it and I too have heard it is great for you skin. We have skin issues in my family so I think it would be great to try.
I LOVE homemade soap! I've never used goat milk soap. Sounds great.
ooooh, good choice, I love me some handmade soaps!!!! FYI, I'll also be adding your blog to my faves list, I find your journey in farmlife intriguing & bravo on taking that leap and moving out there. I'm very jealous :)
What a great idea! I would love to try your soaps because I'm expecting my first baby and it has really brought a lot of awareness about what I put on my body and how I don't want to share processed and artificial things with the baby. :) I have heard really great things about goat milk soap but haven't tried it yet so this would be perfect. Thank you for the lovely giveaway!!!
thanks for your generosity. i have made my own soap in the past and am always on the lookout for homemade-it's just better!
Thank you for your generosity!
I have never even heard of goat milk soap before, I am totally intrigued. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would like to try the goat soap because...well..it comes from a GOAT! I mean, really! How did this all get started, anyway? Who was the genius who walked up to a cow, goat, etc. and said, "HEY! I know! I think I'll pull these things and see what comes out! Then I'll drink it and maybe make some soap out of it, too so I can CLEAN my body with it!"
Hmmm...sort of makes you think. But, alas...we use it! And it tastes good and it cleans well! It turned out to be a good plan, but STILL...someone had to be pretty dumb to try it for the first time! Don't you think?
my husbANd has incredibly dry skin, and i have been searching for homemade soap To buy online, hoping that It will help him to QUIT using so much lotion. but, there are so manY different chOices, and not one is cheAp. so, i hate to "commit" to one without Knowing if it will work for him... if i won your Soap, it would eliminate the rISk and hopefully i could sTOP Searching!!!Leah

i've tried goat milk & milking but never soap. sounds like a cool idea. if not, it'll be cool to be picked by a goat. maaaa.... :) abby
abi-gail7@hotmail.com
I would love to try your goat milk soap my name is Sandy SMith azsmithfamily@hotmail.com
I've been talking with the husband for ages now about getting our own goats to make our own cheeses and soaps and yogurts and maybe a fe smaples of goat's milk soap will sway him! I got him to go for chickens, now I need goats!
Thanks for the fun! :o)
First, I love the name of your blog.
I have been told that goat milk soap is lovely, and it might be just what I need to relieve my dry skin (I'll be 60 this year, and everything is changing...). And everytime I used the soap I would think of Sherrie--- As a teenager, I had a goat named Sherrie. She was a beautiful combo of black, tan and brown and the friendliest animal you've ever seen. She liked to nip off the blossoms on my mother's flowers, but my mother never complained. Memories are wonderful, aren't they?
Thank you for your kind giveaway.

Please oh please help me be more daring and try new things! I've tried goat cheese on doner kabobs and now I must try it out on my dry patch-a ma-bobs!
stampinjen06@yahoo.com
I have always loved oatmeal soap, so I would really like to try this. When our children get really dirty, my husband always teases that they "smell like goat" - they can tell daddy it is because they used goats milk soap (:
izazbz@yahoo.com
I would love a try at goat milk soap. I wonder how if will affect my skin... I am guessing it will leave it feeling soft and clean & smelling nice too! How wonderful :)
simply.simon.sisters(at)gmail(dot)com
I'd love to try the soap. I've haven't seen it before, but I've heard people rave about it.
I think that soap would be a better thing to make with goat's milk than cheese-- I tried it once and didn't like it much. It was much more bitter than I'd expected.
So I've only read 3 of your posts and I'm officially in love with your blog. I'm a city girl and my hubby is a true farm boy. I'm often tempted to allow him to drag me to the farm and start a new way of life. Oh, and I would love the soap!
I love the smell and feel of "real" soap. All comercial soaps are so harsh & don't have a fresh smell like homemade soap. I have used goat soup before & loved it.
I have sensitive skin, but I love great scents! I've tried goat's milk soap in the past and loved how it made my skin feel. So, I'm really hoping for some of your super softening scented soap!
Actually, I'd rather there be a tie. I would like to know who the goats will choose. And how.
Thanks for joining the giveaway!
-Mandi
i adore goat cheese (makes everything better!) . . .
i grew up on goat's milk (couldn't drink cow's) . . .
If these two products of goat's milk are so amazing, who wouldn't want to try goat's milk soap???
Both myself and 2 of my 4 children have very sensitive skin and have difficulties finding soaps that don't irritate our skin... I'd love to try your soap, I am sure it's be a winner!
Pick me!
I truely hope the little guy in the post below this one finds a home. He's definitely too cute to eat!
Great idea!!Just love goat soap. Thanks for the chance.Anne L
I think goats are super adorable, and I'm all about natural/earth friendly products. I'd love to win your soap. thanks for offering. :)
I've never tried any goat soap b4 but I heard good things about it. I would love to win it and try it. I bet my hubby will try it too! Thanks for the chance to win this.
I want to try your goat milk soap because I heard that it's best for the skin. I really like having my skin stroked, so the softer it is, the better for me. :)
I've heard such great things about this type of soap but have never used again. I vow to make goofy goat sounds in the shower if I'm the winner. (Pictures will not be supplied as proof but perhaps I can get a sound clip.)
What a great idea. I have never used goat milk soap before but it sounds wonderful. I can only imagine how soft it would make skin feel...and all natural too. My kids are finally out of the house so it would be all for me-without any sharing(or stealing)
i have super sensitive facial skin and am longing to find a soap that will not irritate it... goat milk soap will do just the thing! also, my hubby searches high and low for organic soap to bath with... and he would love him some goat milk soap!!!
How wonderful! I've heard so much about goat soap, but haven't ventured to try it yet, though I think I must soon:) Thanks for the chance in the giveaway!
I Absolutely LOVE HOMEMADE SOAP, what a great idea for a giveaway. Come check my blog out, I am giving away hand dyed wool.
http://jeanne-justjeanne.blogspot.com/
Thanks for sharing.
I know Cleopatra used to take milk baths to keep her skin beautiful. I guess the next best thing is goat's milk soap! Perhaps it will keep my aging delicate skin soft and smooth. Your story of moving out of Chicago intrigues me. My daughter used to go to School of Art Institute, so I know what Chicago is like. I understand why you moved. I like scented and would love to try your soap. hennybulten@yahoo.com
My 4yo daughter and I play MyFarm together on Facebook. (It's the closest we can get to raising actual animals here in the 'burbs). She loves "her" goats and I know she'd get a kick out of goat's milk soap! Plus we both have terribly dry skin :)
This is such a great idea...and I really admire you for wanting to go through the number of comments that I'm sure will be posted by people who adore your soap.
I wish I had something great to say, but I just think it would be really interesting. I've tried to make soap before...and it didn't really work. So I'm in awe of people who do. Plus, I've used a number of different soaps, but not goat soap; not only is it natural and environmentally-friendly, but it's just plain cool.
I'm very very into cow-based dairy products - Milk, Butter, Cheese - I like them all better when they come from something that moos. My girlfriend has bought some lovely blue cheese chevre, but I barely tasted it, my prejudices are so strong!! Maybe, just maybe, a little goat's milk soap would help me re-consider my aversions to all things goat (well that and some really nice mohair *grin* I am a knitter too, after all!).
I love handmade soaps. They are the best and don't dry out my skin.
I love homemade soap but I've never had any made from goat milk! I've always wanted some cute little goats but since I can't have a goat in my neighborhood, this is the next best thing.
I've never heard of goat soap. I've had goat cheese. I just love handmade things. I've been thinking about making soap, but I'm behind in "my fun list" I guess. I would have taken the roving or yarn... :-)
I would love to try your soap to share with my family and see how neat it is to use (and help) handmade things. My grandma did it, my mom and she taught me the fun reasons and here I am now, passing it to my kids too (I hope!)
Can I say another reason would be so I can have a little of your farm in my city home? and being able to share this love of handmade things. Really. tons of reasons to try your goods. Just need a bigger checking account! :-)
Thanks for the chance. homemamaoftwo (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Reasons... 1. I'd like to find out what spiced plum smells like. 2. Coffee in soap!? 3. milk in soap, let alone goat's milk - must be soft and creamy. When I wash my hands a lot I find the skin drying out so would be great to see if this works better.
very original idea
I would love to try goat's milk soap. I have wondered if it leaves as soapy residue in the tub. We use Dove, which doesn't leave it on our skin but still leaves it on the tub!
Awesome giveawy. I never heard of goat milk soap. :) Thanks for the chance.

Count me in! Great giveaway.
I make my own cold process soap and would love to try some goat milk soap. I can't think of anything particularly convincing as to why I should win. . . so here's a joke!
Why did the ram run off the cliff?
He didn't see the ewe turn!!
williams.juli@gmail.com
I would like to try your soap. Home made things make me feel warm and fuzzy and thats a feeling I have never experienced in the tub. I would like to see how that would be!
Goat milk soap has always fascinated me though I have never tried it. It might be dangerous for me to win, because you might get me hooked on it and then I'll have to buy more.
I checked out your site and couldn't decide which scents I would like to try blackberry sage and spring meadow sound good but then so do all the rest.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to enter your give away. I would love to win!
I've heard that soaps made from goat's milk are good for skin moisturizing but I haven't had to chance to try one. My skin is so dry because I'm exposed to the stinging rays of the Sun everyday.
So, I hope that I could try those out someday. =)
aikychien@yahoo.com
I love natural products for my daughter, she has severe skin allergies & has to use unprocessed items. Would love to win!
Sounds lovely! Not just for old goats! I'd luv to win! Scented*
Earlier this week I took my toddler to our favorite local "farm" where you can feed and pet goats. We got there before the crowds and for the first time we decided to go IN the petting pen to feed the goats, rather than feed them through the fence.
Never.again. Within seconds, hungry goats with poor table manners had covered my white pants in mud and other mud like substances :), nibbled my shirt and used my waist as a stepping stool, bringing me eyeball to eyeball with more than one goat! I threw my handful of feed across the pen, grabbed my toddler and quickly backed out of the pen with my husband laughing and snapping pictures!
This city girl would love to be reminded of the many redeeming qualities of these creatures by trying a bar of your goats milk soap. Pictures can be provided :)!

Miss Molly had some eczema cos she was sick, sick, sick. So we called for the Goat soap really quick, quick, quick. She washed and played in the bath, bath, bath. Now her skin's really great like her laugh, laugh, laugh.
I hope this nursery rhyme is well known over there or I've just made myself look like a real goat!
We're thinking of getting our own homestead and trying our hand at being more self-sufficient. My husband and I know we'd want some animals but we're thinking it would be a good idea not to overdo it. I thought chickens and goats would be a great start. Now, I need to convince my husband that goats are useful!
When I was a baby, I had to drink goats milk. He is familiar with milk.
I've heard that they are pretty good for clearing the land a bit too. Another good use.
Soap! That would be divine. The lap of luxury.....and self-sufficiency!
Handmade soap, how luxurious!

When I was reading your giveaway day post, I was like, "Hey, I would love to win that!" I have never used goat milk soap, but I do have some really bad dry, flaky skin, especially under my arms, and think it might really help out! Plus, I am pregnant and would love to have some homemade stuff to use, rather than manufactured. I hope I win!
Wow, your blog is awesome. I have bookmarked it.
traceypa@yahoo.com
We would love to try your soap! Three of my five children have some skin conditions and even the "dermatologist recommended" brands are sometimes irritating to little skin. How fun to think about the cute little goat that gave the milk and the hardworking mama that formed it into soap! I dream of the day that we could move our family to a farm. The hard and rewarding work would be good for us all. Thanks for the opportunity!
ThmpGarr@aol.com
I have never heard of Goat milk soap and it sounds wonderful. I hve very sensitive skinand think that it would most likely feel wonderful. I would love to give it a try!
I'm glad this give-away led me to your site -it's been enjoyable to read. I would love to win your soap. I would enjoy a long bath with something new to me and let my mind wander on my purpose - seeing how you are making your 'big dream' come true in such a realistic way really has me rethinking mine. Thanks for the inspiring courage and get my mind working - and not putting those little things off!
Goat Milk Soap Give-Away...........
sounds FAN-TAB-ULOUS! I'll bet it's great for the hairs on my chinny chin chin! (Darn Menopause) I would LOVE to try some! Peggy
mstclaire@twcny.rr.com
I would like to try your soap because I have heard that it is very good for your skin and even better for sensetive skin. Since I was a very young girl my mom was always buying different products that swore they were okay to use on even the most sensitive skin, but it was never true, I have found that the more natural the product is the better I am able to use it but the products in stores are not as natural as they claim to be, I am hoping that your soap will be just what I have been searching for.
Sophie:)
I've never used goat milk soap, or any homemade soap before. So I'm looking forward to it.
One of my 2 yo twin boys has very sensitive skin, and I've been trying different natural/handmade soaps to help calm the rashes, but they seem to all bother his eyes. I've recently heard that goats milk soap may be more gentle... and I'd rather have all handmade products instead of reverting to a store bought item.
Btw, I think I lived your life in the past, on the frontier! I still sew, bake/cook from scratch, woodwork(inc. building some of our furniture) you name it. I love doing things that connect me with the earth, and a handmade life seems to get me there.
Thank you for the generous giveaway!
Karen
I would love to try the soap! I'm getting into more natural 'body' items and this would be just fabulous!
I hear it's great for the skin and mine's getting a bit tricky!
I would like to be the winner; and because I am very much trying to keep poisonous substances off of my skin I know your soap would be wonderful to keep my family clean.

Hello Deborah,
I had a look around your site and remembered that a few years ago a friend gave me as a christmas present some soap she had made, either with sheep or goat's milk. That detail i cannot remember, but I do remember it was creamy and very nice. Looking around you site also reminded me that very plain soap (saponified olive oil and no fragrance) was all I used when I was pregnant. Looking at your soaps, the unscented one made with cocoa butter and COFFEE!!, both things which I love, would definitely be my choice!
Best of luck,
I have never tried goat milk soap, what an interesting thing to try.
My 16-month-old daughter has eczema on her ankles and I've never tried goat milk soap, but would love the opportunity to see if this brings her some relief!
jenn@piedpiperstudios.org
I would love to try your goat's milk soap because I have difficulty with many soaps...my body is pretty particular, unfortunately, but I am also wanting to try to use more handmade type products.
As a funny, I was just talking to my friend, today, about the fact that when I was a child my mom always made ice cream from goat's milk. It was delicious!
I would love to know where you live in IL, too! I live near Joliet now, but grew up in a tiny tiny town in east central IL!
Oooh, I would love to win. I had some goat's milk lotion one time and it was the best lotion; the soap has to be just as nice for softening skin.
oooooooo......great idea! Thanks so much.
I LOVE goat's milk soap, although I've only tried it a couple times.
Soap sounds great to me. Nice giveaway!
It is my fantasy to someday have a goat and a few chickens, and to have a bar of goat's milk soap and to feel the softness and small the richness that these beautiful goats provide would make my day.
i am interested in handmade soap--i would like to learn to make it myself, but in the interim, i'd like to find a good place to support with my business. :) i don't want to kill my good bacteria, so nice ol' natural soap is the way i want to go.
I've never used goat's milk soap and would love to try it. What a good idea!
Hi there! Congrats on taking your family away from business and into the homesteading lifestyle. I will def be following your blog and reading past posts.
My husband and I have a long term goal of being completed off grid. We are always looking at new ways to be self sufficient.
I would like to try your soap because I just moved to northern Nevada from Florida in mid February.
MY SKIN IS SO DRY AND ITCHY.
It is a constant battle--I have tried SO many types of soap and nothing seems to really help.
I'm hoping maybe this will...
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

Well, we drink raw gpats milk (yummy!) and my kids think goats are adorable. Some fabulous goats milk soap would just add icing to the cake! :)
hmscott@charter.net
yes please sounds wonderful. I love proper, handmade soap and we used to have goats when i was young, I even milked them cos I was too small to milk the cow we also had!
I have tried store-bought goat's milk "soap", but I prefer simple, natural recipes and products for my home and my body. I'd love to try your soap! :)
I love love love goat's milk soap! One day I want to raise goats. Do you drink their milk too? I've heard that it's better for you then cow's milk. We drink raw cow's milk and love it.
wow over 300 people want that soap! I agree with the other 300 people that this is something I would LOVE to win. What a great thing, too.
Thanks for participating in giveaway day!
sewlittlequilts[at]gmail.com
mmmm... goaty goodness! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to try your goats milk soap, because I love handmade soaps. I love finding vendors at country stores and farmer's markets. I would really love to try yours!
I'd love to try goat soap - I'm very into using natural soaps and how much more natural can you get? :)
Umm. Just look at my handle. Why would I *not* want goat's milk soap? For serious. And if I win, I'd like an unscented variety that is seriously friendly to sensitive skin.
I'd like to try your goat milk soap because I'm lactose intolerant, cow milk gives me a terrible tummy ache! LOL!!
I really am lactose intolerant, but I'd like to try your goat milk soap because I've never tried it before. I imagine it would be divine AND also good for Da'Gorgeouses skin! Hope you thought my answer was clever enough to win :)
Hugs & Blessings!
Lovely! My son (4) has exzcema and goats milk is something that I know is super good for sensitive skin. I'd love to win some for both him and myself!
Thanks for your give-away!!

Smooth and creamy soap's my bag,
but milking goats sounds a drag.
But to skip that step, what bliss!
And have that soap, my skin kiss.
What a happy girl I'd be,
clean, and sweet, and chemical-free!
My kids and I have very sensitive skin and often soap is too harsh. We have tried gels and washes and all sorts of fantastic and ridiculous things but I reckon goats milk soap sounds like an excellent alternative. I'd love to try it and let you know!
I would like to try your soap because my son is having a terrible time with his very sensitive skin. He's 22 months old and his skin is so dry it just peels off his nappy area. Maybe your product can help with that.
And besides. I've never tried proper goats milk soap.
Grace+Peace

Goat milk soap! How interesting. I would like to try it because I could get it unscented which it is so hard to find a nice soap without scents. (Allergies) Such a very nice giveaway. Thanks for letting me play.
I got a bar of goats milk soap when I first moved out here over two years ago. I use it every day, and it is still sitting by my sink looking like a full bar. It is the only soap that doesn't dry out my hands. I went back to buy more for all the bathrooms in our home, and they were no longer selling it! Horrors. I haven't been able to find any since. I love that you make your soaps round, that is so much cuter than a plain old rectangle. I love the scents too, like blackberry sage or pomegranite rosewater. It's not witty, but it's earnest. I really hope I win :)
I'd like to try your goat milk soap because I'm a goddess and that's what goddesses do hehehe
I love homemade soap! I've never tried goat varieties. I love that post about the Maryland goats! I can't wait to tell some friends.
My middle son has very sensitive skin, and until now I haven't found a soap that doesn't dry out his skin... even the ones that say to moisturize it. I'd love to try it with him!
I would love to try your goat milk soap! I love handmade soaps but have never had a chance to try any made from goat milk yet.
Awesome giveaway! If I win I will love the soap.
I'm 8, and I have my own sewing blog. My mom is teaching me to sew. I am also doing a giveaway. So please come and put your name in.

My mom is doing the giveaway too. Her blog is www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.com
Any kind of homemade soap is a special treat. I have never even heard of goat milk soap before! I bet it's really good and soothing on skin. I'm impressed right now!
Once upon a time, there was a soap maker. He was in love with a beautiful young maiden of his town. She was sweet and grateful and very nice with other people. He had just started his own shop so he didn't have much money. With the few savings he had he went to the jewerlly and bought a necklace that would fit her. It was very simple with a unique rose pendant, but this rose was the cutest one that could be found and very delicate. He went to his love and offered her the necklace, asking whether she would wait for him to become worthy of her attention and marry him then. The young woman blushed and promised him her heart. Sadly, this beauty was also coveted by the wealthiest man in the town. He went to her and proposed, sure that she would agree. But he was turned down, because the maiden was pure of heart. Furious, the man went to the town witch and ordered for the impertinent girl to be changed into a goat. The witch was very powerful, and so a goat the girl became... The next morning the young soap maker was very surprised to see a goat by his door. Looking at the poor beast, he thought that it looked very sad. This intrigued him and he went to see it. There he saw the necklace attached around its neck, and he realized that it was his love there! He went to see the witch, but she wasn't a woman of good. She could only do harm, and her curse coudn't be reversed. He then begged her to change him into a goat as well, for if he couldn't live with her as a human, then he would rather do as a goat than abandon her. The witch did as he wished, as from her point of view it wasn't a good deed to change a man into a goat. And the soap maker and beautiful woman lived happily ever after, as goats. Since then it is believed that using goat milk soap brings good luck and happiness to a couple, because of the sacrifice of the young man for love.
That's why I'd love to win a chance to use your milk soaps. Thank you so much for this giveaway. :)

In an attempt to be more green and well as trying to save a little green in my bank account, I started making my own laundry soap. I'd love to try to green my other household and toiletry products as well.
what a lovely giveaway, thanks for the chance.
Great giveaway! The first thing that popped into my head about why I would love to try your goat milk soap is because I am lactose intolerant and goat milk has less lactose levels! But, it's not like I'm going to EAT the soap! Silly, huh?
Your goats are so cute!
goat milk soap?! awesome
I love handmade soap, but have never tried goat soap--I think it sounds fabulous!
I'm giggling at the notion of your goats picking the winner! I worked at a restaurant that kept goats on the roof (during nice days only, of course), and know how frisky those little guys can be! I'd love to try your soap because I want to be in the running to have one of your goats pick me. :)
Oh my your soap sounds wonderful! I just went and looked at your little soap store! How Fun! It has been a dream for our family to get into the country and have family goats and other farm animals! Right now we are happy with all our kitty cats, dogs, bunny, and oh the kids fish!
Anyway, I love Goat milk soap. But I would love this soap for my Mother who just loves goat milk soap she is suffering from shingles. I would love to surprise her with such a fun treat!
Thank you so much for all your kindness and have a lovely weekend!

your soap looks wonderful! i want to try it because it reminds me of when my parents moved us to the country and we raised goats. it's too bad we didn't know about goat milk soap back then!
Man Oh Man I would be all for the roving but soap is great too! I have never used goat milk soap before.
what a great idea, please enter me
Your soap sounds divine. I would love to try it because, well I love all things goat: Goat cheese, goat milk, goat curry...haha, I really do.
But, in all seriousness, I have sensitive skin and I cannot use commercial soaps. I would love to try out some of these soaps & if they are as gentle as they look, it would be great to add these as a bit of variety to my normal soap which is getting a bit boring!

Many moons ago, we had a small bit of land with a variety of beloved critters. Now and then, some baby something or other (I can't remember if it was calves or pigs) would be left without a source of momma milk. Goat's milk is almost a universal food for non-goat animals, so we made friends with a lady who milked her goats. It was important to make friends with her, because not many people around here had goats, and even fewer milked them-besides, she was really nice.
She made lovely goat milk soap, and just as the milk was was universal for food, I think the soap was universal for skin.
She moved away, we left the farm, and I haven't had any goat milk soap in years. And I'm getting old!!! My skin would thank you, and so would I!!
I'd love to try your soap because I've heard that goat milk is very moisturizing. Plus, I have problems with many commercial soaps. They definitely make me itchy.
I'd especially like to try a soap made with essential oils.

You must be very happy, having sheep and goats :) I just found your blog, but I will surely read it through during next weeks.
I'd like to try your goat milk soap, because
- I like goat milk and cheese
- I've got a very dry skin and I think a milk soap would not be bad for it
- and I like the visual appearance of your shop and your soaps!
You mentioned roving and yarns. Do you sell them, too?

Ohhh, I'd love to try your soap. I have extremely dry skin and I have tried goat's milk soap before and it is wonderful! It leaves your skin feeling so soft. I will definately check out your shop. My soap is down to a sliver. I don't think that this comment is whitty, but rest assured, your soap would be well loved and appreciated here!
Very simply, I've never used goat soap and I would like to try it! Thanks for a chance to win!
My dad only used goat milk soap and swears by it but I've never tried any - that's my reason!! Thanks for taking part in the giveaway! We didn't get around to it over on our blog in time, but our 100th post is coming up so maybe soon!
